"Personally I will not risk my home and my family's life for some tweak."

Thanks for the thought, I agree which is why I'm considering changing them on GP's. Actually I don't even know if the filtering is doing anything beneficial where I'm using it so it may be a mute point.

I'm confident that they aren't a significant fire hazard for the reasons I stated but if they blow it would probably be a stinky mess. I just built the thing as an experiment over 30 years ago and it didn't do much good sonically so I just threw it in the junk box. But when I moved here I needed a short extension cord and it was in the stereo box so...

I appreciate for your concern and will revisit it.
